vladimiros:

seriously
with all going on the country and they go on with this?

Help me ask them o.

Thank you for this. Even though I don't drive and I'm not even in the country I'm happy to see people like you thinking about how to move forward instead of bleating over split milk. Keep it up.

I was a bit shocked by the inclusion of Neato C but the only other one I listened to on that list was Darey's album. I have to agree with the sentiments of the OP. I really think Darey tries too hard to be commercial, he's got a beautiful soul voice but, in my opinion at least, pop doesn't really suit him.

It doesn't need to be a competition. You can like Nigerian music as well as American music, Chinese music, Spanish music and whatever. At the end of the day it's rather unproductive to compare Seun Kuti to Gucci Mane, wouldn't you agree?

Edit: If it's a case of which industry is more advanced, then obviously it's America.

Great stuff guys.

I also agree with 2buff, the framerate looked a bit choppy in the video.

A quick survey would show you that only children from
Nigeria fly business or upper class to commence their studies in the
UK . No other foreign students do this.

Nonsense. Sheer, utter, triple distilled rubbish.

They also played an Asa track on the (now cancelled) US TV show "Privileged"

C'est moi, and I'm loving. Got all the expansion packs.

While the first post is factually incorrect, I support the idea of an African Super Hero Comic.

Actually, a Nigerian super hero comic/Graphic Novel.

And a Nigerian Video Game Studio.

P.S I only specify "Nigerian" because, Africa is big o, in case some people forgot. It'll be very hard to rep for the whole continent and please everybody too.

I have read from different sites that it is easy to know when a suspect is lying. That makes interrogations easy doesnt it?

In the beginning it's quite simple and straightforward, there's a lot of hand holding from the game, but it slowly gets more challenging with each case you're given. I'm still yet to finish it though.

I personally think it's superb. It isn't sandbox in the GTA or Just Cause 2 sense. Since you play as a detective in the game you're actually chastised for a wreaking havok when possible. You can't even draw your gun whenever you want.

The facial animation is amazing. At first, I wasn't too blown away but then I looked at some other games that recently came out (The Witcher 2) and I realised L.A Noire had spoiled me silly. It's that good. So far, it has an interesting plot and great acting. The main draw of the game, the interrogations, are incredible. It really puts you edge trying to figure out whether someone is being honest or not.

Here's a video that explains it more clearly: http://kotaku.com/5802203/14-minutes-of-la-noires-unexpected-thrills

This isn't new. We've had a Nigeria Apple Website for a while now, what we should be clamouring for is iTunes Nigeria or for someone to fill that void.

Darn, here I was thinking it was this:

Wait, aren't these the same people that were pushing HD-DVD with Toshiba? They even released a HD-DVD add on drive for the Xbox 360.

The long term future may be digital downloads and on-demand streaming but physical media is far from dead.

I'm very excited about this. Now can somebody please translate Facebook into Pidgin? After all they have English Pirate.

I like the idea and I applaud you for it. If I were a dean I would certainly endorse it. However I almost feel like you'll need to build an entirely new private University to start with these ideas. Between that and trying to start in the current tertiary educational climate, I'm not sure which would be more stressful, honestly.

Nigerians that think you must belong to one of the three major tribes.

First of all, I love that you want to do this. I'm not really sure what obstacles you'll face but hopefully you'll find a way to overcome them.

Like some posters here have mentioned you might want to think of expanding your enterprise rather than moving completely or even using this as a way to gradually phase out of S.A.

Another poster recommended getting into the modding/chipping market. I would only recommend this as a short term solution. I say this because I'm hopeful that sometime down the line Nigeria would become a recognised gaming location i.e "Playstation Network Nigeria" and "Xbox Live Nigeria" and if Sony and Microsoft or Nintendo establish proper presences in Nigeria they don't take very kindly to those kind of practises.

Good luck to you though, I hope it works out for you!

Brilliant!!!!

Wow, she looks stunning in that picture,

They're going to teach her Igbo sha.

Absolutely Fantastic.

Maybe the romantic idea of marriage is getting old-fashioned. There are a variety of reason's why divorce and the like is becoming more popular such as the increasingly easy legislative process and the change in attitudes to marriage. When you say: ", or the guys can't just keep the sacred vows?", this has been going on for centuries but it's either divorce was illegal or the stigma surrounding divorce was enough of a deterrent.

Like somebody here mentioned it's very possible that a lot of people just jump into marriage without fully understanding what they're doing. In addition, just because a marriage doesn't break up doesn't mean it's a happy one. The partners could be living in an empty shell marriage simply bound together by contractual obligations if you will.

Personally, I'm torn. If I get married should I have a "White Wedding" or just a Tradition Wedding, or both? It seems cumbersome to have both when they serve the same purpose. Or should I get married at all? Cohabitation sounds appealing since the thinking behind it seems to be: "If there's is love and understanding, all will be well", but does that seem a little naive? Will she take my name or just hyphenate it? In addition, it's easier to up and leave.

It's a fairly complex issue.

Ghollywood? Lmao them with their softcore porn, like somebody here mentioned.

Liedetect:

Nigerians seem too interested in Ghana for my liking. I've stated before, Nigeria should leave Ghana and Ghanaians alone and concentrate on the bigger picture. We'v always excelled individually or collectively, when we do, by having no inferiority complex and just going ahead with things. If we start concentrating on small Ghana, however successful they are or may become in future, we'll be dragged down.

Ghana is poison to Nigeria, we should wish them all the best, as Africans, because we as Nigerian have always batted for Africans and blacks generally. Wish them (Ghana) the best, prey for their success in future, but forget them and face the rest of the world.

Remember Oyibo will always use one set of black people to keep another set of more adventurous black people in their place. In my opinion Ghanians seek to take advantage of this oyibo attitude in order to better themselves. They will try to show the western world that they Ghanaians are on their side against  the horrible Nigerians.  In the coming years Ghana cinema, with foreign help, will or may rise to dizzying heights, but Nigerians should not react by running over there, Nigerians should concentrate on their own  cinema, develop the grassroots, invest, pioneer, hustle, innovate and be adventurous as always.

Nigerians are good and bighearted people, straightforward and generous. The nature of things always come around in the end to favor such people so long as they work hard.


cast your eyes to the stars - no pun intended - not to Accra

I agree, completely.

Kudos to him! Lead by example.

Beware of stray bullets Mr Guv.

True talk o.

Iyineda:

^ I'm not here to argue about something so futile but just so you know, the USA is a country of over 300 million people, not a continent. The USA is part of North America - the continent.

Thank you abeg.

How can one country represent all 1 billion of us on a continent?

Tweety121:

, a symbolic victory for the 'poorest continent' against the richest.

'Poorest continent' against the richest country.

Do you seriously not see what's wrong with that?

Sorry, double post.

The crux of the issue here, for me at least, is the whole "we are one" idea. It would be all well and good if the camaraderie had shown itself outside of football but maybe this tournament is exactly the wake up call we need.

We can shout "we are the same" as much as we want but we are still divided.

Tut:

To the maker of this thread, the world will always view Saharan Africa as one big entity, and frankly i think it is about time we started viewing ourself as one big entity.

As nice as that sounds we are not one big entity nor do I think we should see ourselves as such. If I agreed with you, we should then I ask, why should it stop there? As a citizen of the world I'm supporting Germany, shebi we were ALL Africans at one point? And the world was one big entity at a time.

Can't you see you've already created the division? Why can't Saharan and sub-Saharan Africa be one big entity? After all a number of people believe the Ancient Egyptians were black.

We can coexist peacefully and respect each other traditions, cultures, political make-up and the like but we are not one big entity.

slyfoxxjoe:

the word patriotism means loyalty and commitment to ones COUNTRY currect me if im wrong but there is no word in the dictionary for showing commitment to ones CONTINENT!! all u guys yarning "we are africans" obviousle have never encountered ghanians first hand. they would NEVER celebrate a nigerian win(they are more likely to display jelousy considering the complex they have for us) and are probably laughing their heads off seeing us trying to "attatch" to them bcuz they progressed in the world cup and we did not. you are not obliged to support a team just becuz your country is situated on the same continent with them how much of an behind kisser can u be? do u think brazilians celebrate argentinas wins or england celebrates for scotland? this whole "we are africans thing" just shows how inferior we fricans feel toward the western world to the extent that we consider one counrtys progress as a victory for the ENTIRE continent! its disgusting. we are better than that. u are nigerian and owe NOTHING to ghana. congratulate them in the spirit of sportmanship but let it stop there!

Thank you jare!!

Too many knee-jerk reactions in this thread.
